I've made a long list of resolutions this year. I know a lot of people say resolutions are doomed to fail, but I like the idea of looking at the new year as a clean slate, with endless possibilities for good habits and new adventures. It's like giving yourself permission to start over.

So here's my way-too-long list of goals for 2016:

--Konmari my house (is that even possible with six kids?). More to come on this. I've already started and am ready to do my whole house.

--Exercise more and lose weight. If you have triplets, can you multiply out the nine months up/down so that I have 27 months to lose it? Let's say YES.

--Look at my phone less often.... However, my phone is my connection to my outside world and to my family and friends. I will try but this will be hard.

--Spend more time with each biggie.

--Do what I love. I am figuring this out. More to come there.

--And finally... focus on a creative outlet. So, here we are! Or, here I am. Welcome to my blog. I thought about trying to do 365 days of blog posts, but January 2 came and went so I gave up on that goal. Instead, I hope to post here as time and life permit. I don't really know where this blog will take me, but I'm starting here today. Maybe this will be a resolution I can keep. Swearing in front of the kids, that one has already gone out the window. Until next time....
